I'm semi-new to LBT but not new to forums in general.

What is really irritating is trying to read through one long run-on sentence, poor capitalization, poor spelling, and no paragraphs! :thumbs_up:

The no paragraphs are the worst as they are difficult to read.

We have spell check, use it for goodness sake.

Punctuation is good.

I've come across quite a few posts that are long with poor spelling, punctuation and no paragraphs. They've been very hard to read. I hope I'm not alone in my thinking here. I'd just like to know when a thought ends and another one begins!

Thank you for letting me rant, I'm done now.

Agree. My other pet peeve is people who can't actually ever end a sentence . . . because it is easier to just type dots . . . and then more dots . . . because the mind wanders and never finishes any single thought . . . I'm going to get all old on everyone and ask, don't they teach anybody the use of a single . anymore?

Oooops...I do that.

I love elipses! They are my favorite! I think I'm addicted to them. I look back to my posts and realize I use them everywhere....like when I'm thinking out loud.

Sorry!

Ok.... I know I'm bad with my dots.... I'll try to watch it from now on... ok??

nope... ...

You are LOOSING your minds.

How much does my mind weigh???? I will take weight loss any way I can get it!!

I have a smaller head than normal (6 pounds - yes, I've weighed it) so I can't afford to lose anything there.

How do you weigh your head without the rest of your body? Maybe I don't want to know . . . See, there is a place for ellipses.

We were at Fed Ex one time and the scale was there on the counter. My family has always made fun of my small head, so I joked I should weigh it. BF said, "Normal human head weighs 8 lbs." So, the guy let me lay my head on the scale. I just relaxed it, and he called out the weight. 6 pounds. No wonder I suck at math - there is no room for it!

What's worse is, I've weighed the girls independently, too, and they weigh as much as my head.

God am I admitting this? I've weighed my head before, just being silly. I put it in a produce scale at the grocery store.

LOL I'm so glad it's not just me!

Did anyone look at you funny?

I dont' know, which do you think is more annoying?

1. This Sentence is.
   
2. THIS SENTENCE IS.
   
3. this sentence is
   
4. This sentence is.
   

So yeah, I guess give me something that's text-based any day...

They would have if it hadn't been deserted. :redface:

Wait...let me get my sunglasses before I answer....

Damn! I did the dot thing again!

This sentence is what?

Didn't know we were in school or a professional writing class on this board

I am a BIG mis-speller and drop words like crazy... But again I don't read word for word and am one of those ppl who can read a messed up spelling letter.. No biggie... Life is to short to worry about someones spelling and english...

Just my 2 cents - cuz I do all the things you complain about

You are LOOSING your minds.

That really annoys me too.

Come on people. Loose is what our clothes will be when we LOSE weight.

I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
